﻿Tuna is our new Shephard/ridgeback mix baby that was rescued from a kill shelter.

Although we have only had him for just over a week he has grabbed hold of both our hearts with his little-big paws!

He has been so good with everything

(although he gets in to his fair share of trouble just like a little boy)

We entered this picture into a photo contest hosted by Your Corner Barkery.

If you would like please help Tuna win free homemade organic healthy crunchie goodies made at a doggy bakery in town just for puppies! All you have to do is follow THIS link and vote on his pic titled (Tuna the "fish".) Please pass this on to your friends and share it on fb or anywhere else, it takes 1 min and Tuna really appreciates it!

I have LOVED working on this team!
There are some wonderful ladies with huge amounts of talent and you will just love being on the team, so apply today!

Who We Are:

Creative Soup (creativesoup.forumotion.com) is a scrapbook challenge forum whose goal is to challenge and inspire scrapbookers to create, create, create!

Creative Soup has several challenges and events to help people get their mojo going!

1. Mojo Mondays: Weekly challenges that rotate between four different kinds of challenges (AAM, Sketch, Inspiration, and Random). You can learn more about these challenges here:creativesoup.forumotion.com/creative-soup-preview-f10/mon...

2. Quarterly Classes: We offer one free quarterly class with detailed format instructions and journaling prompts where scrapbookers can follow along online.

4. The forum: unlike most challenge blogs, this site offers communities where people can chat, ask questions, and share their creations.

Why You Should Apply!

This is a free forum so there is no true compensation. This site is meant to be a fun, friendly place where people encourage each other in this great hobby! But there are several great reasons to join the team!

1. The Experience - if you have always wanted to be on a design team this is a great way to get experience that you can add to your scrappy resume! I am always happy to recommend people who have been on my design teams for other teams.

2. The Challenge - nothing helps keep you motivated as much as a being on a team with a commitment! Our challenges are creative and fun and will be sure to help push your creativity.

3. The Community - we are lucky enough to have a great group of people who are active and supportive of each other. It truly is a fun and welcoming site! We promise a drama-free zone where you can just enjoy yourself!

4. At the end of each quarter the site founders will send the Creative Team members who completed their challenges and duties a little thank you gift from us.

The Creative Team Requirements:

1. To create 1-2 projects per month for our challenges. Each team member will be assigned 1 challenge in advance that they must complete. If something comes up and you cannot do the challenge on time we ask that you find someone to swap challenges with or someone to cover for you. You are encouraged to do at least one additional challenge of your choice but this is not required.

2. Participate on the forum by checking in a few times a week and posting ideas, layouts, and responses to members’ questions or threads. You are not required to be on the forum every day... but we do hope to see a regular presence on the board.

3. Positively represent the board by sharing links to the site where you can (including blogs and forums) and by conducting yourself on the forum in a friendly manner.

4. Creative Team term is 3 months (April-Jun 2011), with an option to extend to 6 months if both sides choose. Members can serve no more than six consecutive months on the Creative Team as we like to keep the Creative Team fresh!

How to Apply: *Due Friday March 11th*

1. Projects: please send 3 favorite projects to creativesoupforum@gmail.com. These projects must be your original work. At least 2 should be layouts. We would love to see something non-layout like a mini or a card, but a third layout is fine if you prefer to do layouts. You may send more than one photo per layout if you like. *These can be existing projects in your gallery. No need to create new projects for the call*

2. Link to your online gallery and blog if you have one.

3. List of other design team obligations, if any.

4. Why you want to join our Creative Team

5. What you like to create: layouts, size preference, mini's, cards, etc. Please include if you like to do sketch challenges or not. It’s okay if you don't!

I had a busy weekend with a crop over at Creative Soup that I was running with the

other wonderful DT girls!

Even though the crop is over you can still have fun with a couple of my projects that

I made just for this love filled day!

﻿While trying to think up a fun challenge for you all to do I was working on this LO. I figured what a better time to do a LO about doing things you love with those you love than during the holiday of love!?

Topic:

Something you love doing with someone you love!

Challenge:

Create a LO using at least 90% non-traditional Valentine colors as well as the same

photo more than once! Minimum journaling requirement of 20 words.

Here is my LO for my challenge:

My journaling:

I was so excited for our first Holidays together!

Decorating our Christmas tree together was so much fun

and just the beginning of many traditions to come!

And to finish off today's cuteness I amSUPER EXCITED

To post one of the Valentine's Day cards I made for the crop!

Here is my inspiration

And now here is my take on their card

(Ahhh I love it !!!)

I hope you all enjoy!

And remember, like always if you play along make sure to link photos of your

work here on my blog so we can all come see!﻿

“Love is the condition in which the happiness and existence of another person is essential to your own.” ~Robert Heinlein

About Me

Scrapbooking has always been a passion of mine that started early on in life. Being a fine arts major,
bringing creativity into the world is what I live for. I started my arts education at the New Hampshire Institute
of Art and am on the road to my degree. I work as a free lance artist painting and scrapbooking professionally. I live in North West Florida in a small seaside town with my amazing husband and our two "child-cats". I have dreams of owning my own shop and designing my own line of scrapbook and paper crafting items. I have set out
to provide those who either dont have the time, energy or creativity it takes to create a genuine personalized
scrapbook with a custom crafted work of art, while throwing my two cents out there for all those folks who do!
